February 11 is 211 Day!
Life can be difficult, but finding help doesn’t have to be. Help starts with 211. #211DayCanada
An annual day of recognition across North America, 211 Day raises awareness and highlights the importance of the 211 service in our communities.
British Columbians can simply dial or text 2-1-1 to talk with a trained professional who will listen and help them find the right information and resources for their unique situation. It’s free, confidential and available 24/7, 365 days a year.
You've helped me out so much. With the information you gave me, I was able to connect with the Residential Tenancy Branch. We might still have to move, but I'm putting our names on the lists at places that offer subsidized rent. The info you provided was so amazing. - 211 Caller Jan 2023
